What I tend to miss most is the comment interaction. I have a whole pile of subscribers to my feed on livejournal, and it creates this comment disconnect, because people comment to the feed entry too. A year or so ago (I think, don't quote me) I added a 'comments (#)' to the bottom of the posts in the feed, which has helped, but that's not in anyone's default templates for rss feeds at the moment that I know of.

Well, it may be for different reasons. I feel that the site, the header and the sidebar, the feel... add so much to the words.

Also, I find that a reader in a browser can be overwhelming and I don't digest the posts like I should before moving onto the next one.

Wow, someone else who doesn't like feedreading in the browser. What I actually want is something that checks the feeds to see if anything's changed since I've been there. Problem is firefox's history format is disgusting.

The email on the blackberry was great for reading and responding to emails that only required a short response; however, the phone wasn't good for writing lengthy emails to friends, etc.

I don't like the feedreader experience in my browswer - I prefer taking in the content on the site where I can easily comment and see the widgets and sidebars - but it does serve a purpose and google reader mobile was great for reading feeds while waiting in lines/killing time.

Good to see you back.

Gmail on my phone and imap access for my other email on the phone works out for killing time, but I've got wireless almost everywhere I get stuck (and municipal wifi at my apartment, too, for when the cable dies) so it's not really necessary at this point.

Feed readers, well... I go try them every year or so and give up again, and I might write one to do what I want instead in a firefox extension at this point.
